Apr 21, 2013 · The trigeminal nerve is the 5th cranial nerve and is a mixed nerve responsible for sensation in the face and motor function of muscles of mastication. It has 3 main divisions - the ophthalmic, maxillary, and mandibular nerves.
It discusses the elementary structure of neurons, classification of cranial nerves, embryology and nuclei of the trigeminal nerve, the trigeminal ganglion, and the three divisions (ophthalmic, maxillary, mandibular) and their branches. Diagrams are included to illustrate the course and branches of the trigeminal nerve.
Jan 20, 2015 · This document provides an overview of the trigeminal nerve (CN V), including its nuclei, functional components, course and distribution, the trigeminal ganglion, and the three divisions of the trigeminal nerve - ophthalmic, maxillary, and mandibular nerves.
The trigeminal nerve is the largest cranial nerve. It has both sensory and motor functions, transmitting sensations from the face and motor commands to the muscles of mastication. The trigeminal nerve arises from three main divisions - the ophthalmic, maxillary, and mandibular nerves.
